Gina,

Have you visited the Nassau County NYGenweb site?

It is located at: http://www.aplusdata.com/nassau/index.cfm

They host a mailing list specifically for LI researchers, and have
the names and addresses posted there of historical societies
and libraries that might have the information you seek.

I know that they would also be interested in the results of
your research, too.
